The project was financially supported by the Department of Conservation Auckland Conservancy and the Auckland Regional Council. It was directed by John Galilee (DOC) in consultation with Shona Myers (ARC). The Auckland Regional Council also assisted with initial direction and with the development of the data layers from which the vegetation classifications were derived. Alison Davis provided the initial technical direction and assisted with the collection of the data which supports the report. Further work on the consolidation of the vegetation types was completed by Jonathan Boow. Other major contributors to the project were GIS staff and others from the following organisations, who assisted with the development of GIS layers for their districts and who willingly shared information: North Shore City Council, Auckland City Council, Waitakere City Council, Manukau City Council, Rodney District Council, Franklin District Council, Papakura District Council, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Queen Elizabeth II National Trust, Landcare Research New Zealand Ltd and the Ornithological Society of New Zealand. Individuals who provided information, advice and comment were: Chris Green, David Havell, Jonathan Miles, Peter de Lange, Halema Jamieson, Thelma Wilson, Rosalie Stamp, Bec Stanley, Marie Bradley, Phil Reid, Peter Anderson, Craig Bishop, Karen Denyer, Carol Bergquist, James Corbett, Ewen Cameron, Mark Bellingham, Maureen Young, Anne Grace, Arthur Dunne and Tricia Aspin. 5 Definitions Indigenous ecosystems - are defined as those that were present prior to human settlement, including the natural changes that have subsequently occurred to those ecosystems. It is not possible from the broad scope of the available information to be certain that any given location is indeed intact indigenous vegetation. Field surveys would be required to verify this. Auckland Conservancy - is defined as the area from the Kaipara Harbour entrance and Mangawhai in the north to the Waikato River and Miranda in the south. It includes islands in the Hauraki Gulf from the Mokohinau Islands to The Firth of Thames, including Little Barrier Island and Great Barrier Island, and extends a further 1000 kilometres northeast to include the Kermadec Islands. The Kermadec Islands are not included in this report because of their remoteness and because they are already fully protected as the Kermadec Islands Nature Reserve. Priorities – are evaluated for the protection of ecological and biodiversity values currently on private land. Threatened species - are as determined by de Lange et al. (2008) four highest threat classifications for vascular plants, Miskelly et al. (2008) for birds and the five highest threat classifications from Hitchmough et al (2005) for all other species listed. Mosses, liverworts, fungi and microalgae are not included. The data on threatened species has been assembled using information that is currently available. The presence or absence of data does not mean that there definitely are or are not species present at a particular site as an area may or may not have been recently surveyed. Lists of threatened species are regularly revised and threat classifications changed. The ‘acutely’ and ‘chronically’ threatened categories referred to in Priority 4 of the national priorities (DOC and MfE 2007) have been replaced by the ‘threatened’ and ‘declining’ categories following the revision in 2008. The most recent list should always be used in applying this report. Recently recorded - The data is based on threatened species that have been recorded in the catchment post 1970 for plants, lizards and invertebrates, and between 1999 and 2004 for birds. Originally rare ecosystems – are as determined by Williams et al. (2006). The data only indicates that these ecosystems may be present in an area as no surveys for these have been carried out. (See Appendix II for more details on how potential sites of these ecosystems were identified). Protected Areas (dated 2004) - are defined as follows: 1. Land under DOC, ARC, district or city council management 2. Land covenanted by the QEII Trust 3. Land protected under District Plan provisions There are many protection mechanisms in place for the preservation of natural values including crown land, public conservation land, land under local government management, covenants, and provisions in district plans. The reserve definition is comprised of digital land information for land in public ownership whose status affords it some vegetation clearance protection and also private land protected by covenant or District Plan restrictions. The GIS layer from which the information on the level of protection was compiled includes some Crown land, public conservation land administered by DOC, ARC parks, district council parks and reserves and QEII covenants. However for some EDs it also includes areas protected under local government district plans. Further judgement is required to assess the effective level of protection afforded to any ecosystem with protected status in this definition as changes to district plan provisions can affect the level of protection. The layer also excludes local government, Resource Management Act (RMA) covenants and bush bonds, as most are not available in digital form. 6 Abbreviations used in this report ACC Auckland City Council ARC Auckland Regional Council ASCV Area of Significant Conservation Value CMS Conservation Management Strategy DOC Department of Conservation ED Ecological District ER Ecological region EW Environment Waikato FDC Franklin District Council GIS Geographical Information System LENZ Land Environments of New Zealand MCC Manukau City Council MfE Ministry for the Environment NHF Nature Heritage Fund NIWA National Institute of Water & Atmospheric

Its land area of over 600 square kilometres dominates the southern part of the Auckland Region. I The territorial integrity of the district, which stretches from the edge of the Auckland isthmus in the north to the Hunua ranges in the South, is interrupted only by the local authority enclaves of Papatoetoe City and 0tahuhu and Howick I Boroughs. The Manukau City Centre, 25 km south of Auckland Centre, is the natural geographical focus of the city's urban area . When fully developed the urban area I will stretch out from the Centre southwards to Manurewa and Takanini, northeastwards to Otara and Pakuranga and northwest to Mangere. Two-thirds of the City's land area is in rural use, ranging from dairy and town milk supply I units to pastoral farming, horticulture and forestry . A distinctive feature of the district is its extensive coastline of 320 km.

Bassett, Minister of Health, Parliament Buildings, WELLINGTON. Dear Dr. Bassett, Herewith the Thames Hospital Boards proposal that requests your approval for the formation of the Thames Area Health District and Board. My Board has chosen to proceed differently to Northland, Nelson and Wanganui. Rather than form a Steering Committee we chose to use Thames Hospital Board staff to plan the proposed Area Health Board, and to then issue a "Public Discussion Document". The contents of this document were then widely circulated amongst health professionals, the private and voluntary sectors and amongst community groups likely to be interested. Advertisements in newspapers, articles in local newspapers and on the several radio stations serving the district were used to further increase coverage. Meetings were held throughout the district with health professionals and a series of public meetings were scheduled in all major communities of the district. Public meetings were chaired by Mr. N. Clarke a prominent resident and his report to you is attached. Submissions were called from the public to the "Discussion Document" and these are included in Appendix C. The Thames Hospital Board received 25 in total. The major modifications to the circulated discussion document are - 1.

  • Introduction to the District
    Hauraki District Plan September 2014 6.2 INDIGENOUS BIODIVERSITY AND SIGNIFICANT NATURAL AREAS 6.2.1 BACKGROUND (1) PART 2 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991 (RMA) (a) The RMA has a key role in managing our indigenous biological diversity. Almost all forms of resource use affect indigenous biodiversity, and biodiversity is recognised in the Act in many ways. Part 2 of the Act places a responsibility on the Council to recognise and provide for the general protection of indigenous vegetation and habitats of indigenous fauna. (b) Section 5(2)(b) of the Act refers to safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems. Section 6(c) places a responsibility on Council to protect areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna as a matter of “national importance”. Section 7 also requires Council to have particular regard to the maintenance and enhancement of amenity values (Section 7(c)) and the intrinsic value of ecosystems (Section 7(d)). The definition of “Intrinsic Values” in the Act includes values derived from biological and genetic diversity and the essential characteristics that determine an ecosystem’s integrity, form, functioning and resilience. These characteristics are also integral to the life-supporting capacity of ecosystems identified in Section 5(2)(b). In addition, it is understood that some areas of indigenous biodiversity have cultural values of importance to tangata whenua, and through the protection of indigenous biodiversity for ecosystem reasons, such protection can also assist Council in carrying out its responsibilities under Section 8 of the Act. (c) Section 31 of the Act provides that it is the function of territorial authorities to control the effects of the use of land for the maintenance of indigenous biological diversity.
